Coyhis, Don

Winds of Change, v12 n4 p114-19 Aut 1997

Ties Native American Medicine Wheel teachings on the cycle of life to Eric Erickson's work on the eight developmental stages: trust, autonomy, initiative, accomplishment, identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity. To have healthy communities, people need to move successfully through these stages. Knowing about these stages can help a person to recapture missing pieces of growing up. (TD)
